![]() You've got all the pistol skills someone's mentioned alreadyīut you've also got the rifle skills which combined with the Hunter's rifle mean A LOT of pain - death from above, steady hands and serial are godly combined. When you get the Hunter rifle they shine though. You can shoot one from across the map, take out it's OW and then let another trooper move closer and finish it off. They're excellent for taking out the heavy mecs who go into overwatch once activated. You want to activate the pod and get them in range - Squad sight lets you shoot directly and pull them or if you have time, put the sniper on overwatch and let the pod move through his vision, get shot, activated and run into your squads overwatch trap. You've got your team set up nicely on high ground and/ or full cover. Soo.where do I start? Snipers are awesome throughout the game tactically but they become godly mid-late game.Įarly to mid game the squad sight ability lets you pull pods to you. What build, if any, is worth using? What missions are they worth taking on? ?Their Squadsight seems to be nerfed compared to Xcom1? I had -80+% Squadsight penaltys once the other guys moved further away which I don’t remember happening in Xcom1.Īm I missing something? Want to give a Sharpshooter another chance since I just got the Hunter Rifle + Pistol. Their Rifle + Pistol is expensive in both research time and resources. They don’t seem to add any significant advantage like the other 3 basic classes (Explosive Spam/ Healings / 100% Shotgunning Lost) (Not able to use the Rifle on the second action point unless skilled). They are terrible for missions on a timer which there are a lot more in Xcom2 compared to 1. I don’t find a way to justify the slot, especially with the added specialists in WotC. Now I’m towards the end of my third Xcom2 run (currently Commander/Ironman WotC, L/I is next) and just can’t find any use for them. ![]() Two to three Sniper sitting on some rock in the corner of the map with Squadsight + Double Tap made late game missions a breeze. ![]() First off, I loved the Sharpshooter in Xcom1, they were my absolute go-to unit for all runs.
